Oracle is going to buy Sun and control Java and MYSQL.1

In an interesting post in ZDNET ,Mr Shuttleworth, the founder of Ubuntu is claimed to state that:
“.. he doesn’t seem too worried that the proprietary software company will kill Sun’s open source Java, OpenSolaris and MySQL jewels, in spite of Oracle’s hold on the database market.”
I am not sure I completely share his optimism. I am not so much worried about Java, there is no competition there. But think of it -If you were Oracle’s CEO, You just got the chance to kill the number one competitor product- Wouldn’t you want to kill MySQL?
